Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ceramic welding methods, and in particular to a ceramic welding method based on brazing. Background Art
[0002] Brazing is a type of welding that uses a filler metal with a lower melting point than the weldment as a filler metal, which is heated to a molten state and then filled into the weld to connect metals. The characteristics of brazing include: smooth joint surface, good air tightness, stable shape and size, and can connect the same or different metals and some non-metals.
[0003] Ceramic welding is a technology that uses welding technology to connect two ceramic parts into a whole. Ceramic materials have the characteristics of high strength, high temperature resistance, and high hardness. Ceramic brazing can achieve effective connection between ceramics and ceramics or ceramics and other materials. In the process of traditional brazing, due to the impurities attached to the weld itself and the rough surface of the brazing seam, with high temperature heating, the brazing material only fills the seam on one side and does not complete the fillet, so that the temperature conduction between the weld and the brazing material is not compatible, resulting in poor brazing seam formation, so that the weld cannot be effectively filled, gaps and pores occur, affecting the overall welding effect.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned problem that due to the impurities attached to the weld itself and the rough surface of the brazing seam, the brazing material only fills the seam on one side during high-temperature heating and fails to complete the rounded corners, resulting in incompatible temperature conduction between the weld and the brazing material, leading to poor brazing seam formation, a ceramic welding method based on brazing can be designed. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the problem that the weld itself has impurities attached and the surface of the brazing seam is rough, with high-temperature heating, the brazing material only fills the seam on one side and does not complete the fillet, making the temperature conduction between the weld and the brazing material incompatible, resulting in poor brazing seam formation and affecting the overall welding effect.
